• Judicial and Government Authorities: Strictly when compelled under Indian statutory law or court subpoenas.
Section 06
Statutory Record Retention Schedule
Under Section 128 of the Companies Act, 2013, and statutory tax statutes, all co-production contracts, SPV settlement ledgers, and KYC records are preserved in encrypted archives for a mandatory period of eight (8) years following the completion of the project waterfall lifecycle. Script treatments that are not greenlit are permanently wiped from production servers upon author notice.
